Today my father turns seventy years old. Saturday we threw a party for him at our house and close to fifty people showed up. I told him my present to him was that I wasn’t going to tell him how much it cost to order all that Chinese food. And I didn’t use a coupon.
Happy Birthday, Pop. You’ve taught me so much.
